4.0

Sweet, short, romantic epistolary that leaned heavily on very beautiful imagery. This is the first story I've read in the Birdverse (I'm going through the ones recommended by the author ahead of the Four Profound Weaves), so a lot of my experience was simply sorting out and interpreting the world-building and how this artisan magic works. Aside from that though, I loved how the two writers/artisans come from completely different places (desert vs northern woods) and consequently work from two different aesthetics, and I loved how they ultimately came together. Interested to read more!
